A MI helicopter, drones, and sniffer dogs were used in a massive manhunt for the attackers of last afternoon’s attack as at least 20 people were detained till now for questioning in relation to the deadly ambush of five army soldiers in the dense forest area of Bata Doriya here. They are presently being questioned by Jammu Kashmir Police in Poonch district of Jammu.
According to officials, the security forces are questioning those who have been detained at different levels to determine the identify of the terror organisation, which is thought to have been active in the area for more than a year and likely includes a sniper as well.
A day after the assault, Dilbag Singh, the director general of the Jammu and Kashmir police, and Mukesh Singh, the additional director general of police, were camped in the nearby Rajouri district to supervise the inquiry. The two officers went to the location as well.
